Link aggregation
Me again
I'm trying to find a page describing the L2, L3 und L4 modes of dladm.
It's nice to read "hashed by ip header", but how should I use that?
On the file-server it's ok to have the six interfaces serving six clients each on it's own. But an rsync connection via switch between two machines still uses only one link, is that true?

Hi,
I need to setup a hacmp cluster (my first one, we usually use VCS on AIX), but I require more network bandwith than a normal gigabit etherchannel setup can provide, so I am thinking about using linkaggregation - 2 active adapters to one switch and a single backup adapter to another switch...

NXGE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NXGE(4)
NAME
nxge -- Neterion Xframe 10GbE Server/Storage adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device nxge
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_nxge_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The nxge driver provides support for Neterion Xframe-I and Xframe-II adapters. The driver supports TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO/LSO), Large
Receive Offload (LRO), Jumbo Frames (5 buffer mode), Header Separation (Rx 2 buffer mode), VLAN, and Promiscuous mode.
For general information and support, please visit the Neterion support page http://www.neterion.com/support/support.html.
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility
configures the adapter to transmit and receive Jumbo Frames. Xframe adapters support Jumbo Frames up to 9600 bytes.
For Jumbo Frames, the driver will try to allocate physically contiguous buffers. Failures to do so may degrade the performance. To resolve
such problems, please visit http://www.neterion.com where additional information and a kernel patch can be found.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
HARDWARE
The nxge driver supports Neterion Xframe 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters listed in http://www.neterion.com/how/pricing.html.
